My sculpture explores the residual primal needs that connect us to the animal world. I focus on

the commonality of humans and the rest of the animal kingdom, and our shared evolutionary origins.

I try to challenge our aloofness to nature; our belief that we can or should dominate or conquer it.

I am interested in the interconnectedness of species as well as their transitions through time, such as

the development of birds from the dinosaur and of humans from the early primate.

I am currently working on a series of hunters. Their thin, elongated bodies express our fragility

and ultimate dependence on nature. I intend for my figures to have a timeless quality, not rooted to any

particular time or place. They are generalized and the compositions simplified in order to represent

the human species as a whole.

My goals are to push further the attenuated sculptural form and continue the exploration of our

connection to the natural environment.
